Life of Swami Brhamananda - 8

[Guest guest]

From this posting, I am going to describe the experiences of Swami

Brahmananda when he stayed at Dakshineshwar with Sri Ramakrishna.

 

Rakkal happily spent his time in meditation and serving the Guru in

Dakshineshwar. One day Rakkal told Bhagwan that he is very hungry and food

is not currently available at the Ashrama. Immediately, Bhagwan arranged

for some food to be brought from some far of place. When the food came,

Bhagwan was very happy. He immediately called Rakhal and told him, " You

are very hungry now. Food has come now. So go and eat. " On hearing this,

Rakhal became angry. He told Bhagwan, " It is true that I am hungry. But

should it be publicised so much? " . Then Bhagwan told him with his sweet

voice, " If you are hungry, What is wrong with saying so to others? " .

This incident really inspired me. This really shows that we should not try

to hide our feelings. We should be saying what we think. If we dont do it,

then we are really cheating ourselves. I think not expressing our feelings

and thoughts is also a form of lying.
